Spermaceti Cove

Spermaceti Cove is a cove located in Sandy Hook Bay. It borders Sandy Hook spit to the east, Bunker Beach to the northwest, South Island to the south, and Skeleton Hill Island to the west, forming the cove. Its name comes from spermaceti, a waxy liquid found in the skull cavity of a sperm whale that helps with the whale's buoyancy. Today, the cove is a tourist attraction for people who wish to walk along its boardwalk and view its marshes.
